Abstract

Purpose: To evaluate the extent to which the structure and content of Iran authority file complies with FRAD model.
Methodology: A combination of desk research and survey is employed. FRAD’s attributes were quantified using weighted score.
Results: The average structural and content compatibility of Iran authority file with FRAD model is 80.48 and 22.13 respectively. The highest and lowest mean match regarding structure is related to “justify” and “find” user tasks respectively with 93.18 and 67.33 scores and correspondingly to “find” and “contextualized” user tasks with 25.36 and 21.11 average scores regarding content.
Conclusion: There is a significant difference between Iran authority file and FRAD model in terms of structure and content. Iran MARC structure complies with FRAD model in data storage, however, National Library of Iran has not employed this structure in Iran authority file and required data for FRAD implementation have not been desirably valued. Not using Iran MARC structure properly in producing authority data results in lack of required content to implement FRAD model. Therefore, creating a model to improve data authorities’ function toward FRBRization is essential.
